GeoLocationPlus is a collection of tools to extend and enhance the GeoLocation functionality in AutoCAD (2015 or Higher) as well as add it to AutoCAD (Legacy), BricsCAD, IntelliCAD, and ZWCAD. For these CAD engines without GeoLocation it contains it's own coordinate projection engine!

Details

Set Location:

Sets and stores the coordinate system for the current drawing. An intuitive alternative to the confusing AutoCAD set location method. Optionally zoom to system extents, turn on GEOMARKERVISIBILITY, and set the drawing units (feet/meters) to match the selected system. Does not require logging into Autodesk 360!

Alternate Coords:

A system allowing entry and labeling of a second system. For example if your current drawing is in state plane, you can easily enter values in lat/long or place updatable labels displaying the alternate system. You can even copy the labels and update them.

Set the current alternate coordinate system system code.

Enter an alternate coordinate any time CAD is prompting for a point using the transparent 'AC command.

CAD import and export of GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) feeds. Processes the stops.txt and shapes.txt files for two way transfer to/from polylines and geolocation markers. Allows editing of this data in the CAD environment!

Import major formats produced by ESRI, civil applications and government agencies. This tool allows you to select multiple files, specify a coordinate window, and quickly import mapping information directly into your CAD drawing.

Publish your drawing to an KML (Google Earth) or HTM file using Google Maps or Leaflet to display the drawing in a browser. Push the html file to your web server and anyone (with an internet connection) can view the map using any type of device or browser.

OpenStreetMaps:

Imports OpenStreetMap geometry by simply windowing an area inside the drawing or display OpenStreetMap in your browser with the current drawings viewport.

Creates a surface (or insert/export points) with the elevations returned by the Bing, Google, Mapzen, or the USGS Elevation Service.

Symbol Manager:

A tool for managing both the symbols provided and your own user symbols. You can assign a scale factor from 10% to 200% to resize the DWG preview bitmaps. A single click gives you operating system file details along with properties embedded in the drawing, as accessed from the DWGPROPS command. A large collection of symbols in the areas of arrows, mining, points, road plan, shapes, trees, utility, and vehicles can be downloaded with a single click inside the symbol manager.

Transform:

Projects a selection set of geometry from one coordinate system to another in the current drawing.
